There is a very foolish(愚蠢的) thief. Do you know what he does one day? When he wants to steal (偷) the bell on his neighbor's door he walks up to the door, takes hold of the bell and pulls hard. The bell makes a very loud noise(噪音). The thief is afraid and goes home quickly.

Then he sits down to think "I must do something about the noise" he says. He thinks and thinks. At last he has an idea. "Ah I'll put some cotton(棉花) in my ears. Then I won't be able to hear the noise." The next day he goes to the door of his neighbor and takes hold of the bell. This time he pulls even harder.
